Every year in America,
00:00:12.94\00:00:14.28
there are over
one million deaths
00:00:14.31\00:00:15.64
because of Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:15.68\00:00:18.48
This includes heart
attacks and strokes.
00:00:18.51\00:00:20.88
That's six and half
747s crashing every day.
00:00:20.92\00:00:24.52
What's even more surprising
is that the fix is easy.
00:00:24.55\00:00:27.72
It's your lifestyle.
00:00:27.76\00:00:29.36
Wouldn't it be nice
if you could actually add
00:00:29.39\00:00:31.33
quality years to your life
00:00:31.36\00:00:32.69
rather than dying
one organ at a time?
00:00:32.73\00:00:35.46
Obesity and diabetes
00:00:35.50\00:00:36.83
are the cause of over a
million deaths per year.
00:00:36.87\00:00:39.80
Most diseases are reversible
00:00:39.83\00:00:41.87
because most diseases
are lifestyle diseases,
00:00:41.90\00:00:44.71
especially Type 2
diabetes and chronic obesity.
00:00:44.74\00:00:48.24
Seriously now,
they can be reversed
00:00:48.28\00:00:50.55
and the quality of
your life can be renewed.

Hi, friends and
welcome to another edition
00:01:15.00\00:01:17.37
of NEWSTART Now.
00:01:17.41\00:01:18.81
I'm your host, Ron Giannoni.
00:01:18.84\00:01:21.54
In our studio we
have a young lady,
00:01:21.58\00:01:24.15
from Fresno,
California, Linda Hebert.
00:01:24.18\00:01:29.18
And I'd like you to
take a look at a clip
00:01:29.22\00:01:31.29
we shot went she first arrived.
00:01:31.32\00:01:33.15
I wanted to come to the,
and do the Fresh Start program,
00:01:36.52\00:01:41.06
mainly from my
husband to be a support.
00:01:41.10\00:01:44.03
However, I'm very hopeful
for it to improve my health.
00:01:44.07\00:01:50.87
I've been experience
over a last year, a lot of--
00:01:50.91\00:01:56.31
I've noticed my
health is deteriorated
00:01:56.34\00:01:58.41
so, fogginess,
lack of concentration,
00:01:58.45\00:02:02.75
even studying,
studying something
00:02:02.78\00:02:06.15
and going to get something out,
it's just, it's been a chore.
00:02:06.19\00:02:11.89
Yeah, and the
profession that I'm in,
00:02:11.93\00:02:15.20
has allowed me enough
time, I do outside sells,
00:02:15.23\00:02:18.53
so I can kind of cover
it up, but I'm struggling,
00:02:18.57\00:02:22.37
so the doctor,
the prognosis ADHD
00:02:22.40\00:02:26.57
have never been
formally diagnosed with that,
00:02:26.61\00:02:30.58
but I was put on
a low dose Ritalin,
00:02:30.61\00:02:33.31
and at first it helped me focus,
00:02:33.35\00:02:37.69
but I'm, I'm really
having some symptoms
00:02:37.72\00:02:43.43
and so, I tried,
went to the doctor
00:02:43.46\00:02:46.29
and thought it was
hormonal and checked all that,
00:02:46.33\00:02:50.17
had my lab work done.
00:02:50.20\00:02:51.53
I'm as healthy
and everything's fine.
00:02:51.57\00:02:54.50
Even went to a cardiologist,
00:02:54.54\00:02:56.84
because I've been
having trouble sleeping,
00:02:56.87\00:03:01.01
and I do have sleep apnea.
00:03:01.04\00:03:05.95
So, I'm not sure what it is?
00:03:05.98\00:03:07.98
And so, I'm
hopeful, I'm here for Joe,
00:03:08.02\00:03:11.55
but I'm also
hopeful that in knowing that
00:03:11.59\00:03:14.56
my health will improve,
00:03:14.59\00:03:17.13
and that it will
take us to the next level
00:03:17.16\00:03:20.43
and I can feel better.
00:03:20.46\00:03:24.70
Welcome back, friends,
and as I promised Linda.
00:03:24.73\00:03:27.44
Hi. How are you?
00:03:27.47\00:03:28.80
I'm doing well.
00:03:28.84\00:03:30.17
You look better than
when you first were here.
00:03:30.21\00:03:33.04
Thank you.
00:03:33.07\00:03:34.41
Well, tell us, what's going on,
00:03:34.44\00:03:35.78
you came here to
support your husband?
00:03:35.81\00:03:38.11
But I'm hearing
that you're getting
00:03:38.15\00:03:40.02
a whole lot of benefit from this
00:03:40.05\00:03:41.95
just being here as a companion.
00:03:41.98\00:03:44.25
Yep,
absolutely, it's been great.
00:03:44.29\00:03:47.36
I feel like over
the-- through the beginning
00:03:47.39\00:03:51.09
and the fast that we did,
00:03:51.13\00:03:53.13
and through the whole program,
00:03:53.16\00:03:56.70
I feel like a well has
been lifted, a fog, the fog.
00:03:56.73\00:04:01.00
You know, when I got
off my low level dosage
00:04:01.04\00:04:05.01
of Ritalin that I was
taking for concentration,
00:04:05.04\00:04:08.01
and I felt better and clear
that I have in a long time.
00:04:08.04\00:04:13.42
Off Ritalin, that's bad stuff.
00:04:13.45\00:04:15.68
Yeah, I wasn't
on it for that long,
00:04:15.72\00:04:17.05
but I could, yeah, at
first, at first it was working
00:04:17.09\00:04:20.02
and then, you know, it wasn't
00:04:20.06\00:04:22.46
and I think just
accumulation of the lifestyle
00:04:22.49\00:04:26.56
as you say so,
00:04:26.59\00:04:28.43
and I took off two
inches from my waste
00:04:28.46\00:04:33.54
and a inch and half off my
hips and close to 10 pounds so.
00:04:33.57\00:04:37.31
Wow! Yeah, it's a great start.
00:04:37.34\00:04:40.48
You know, that's
pretty good numbers
00:04:40.51\00:04:44.21
for a place that's not
a weight loss facility.
00:04:44.25\00:04:47.52
That's right, that's right.
00:04:47.55\00:04:48.88
You know, we generally
pay most attention to people
00:04:48.92\00:04:52.95
with illnesses, and sicknesses,
and all kind of diseases.
00:04:52.99\00:04:57.46
And here we are people come here
00:04:57.49\00:05:00.60
and being on the program,
00:05:00.63\00:05:02.66
living this
lifestyle lose weight.
00:05:02.70\00:05:05.30
Right, right.
00:05:05.33\00:05:06.67
And I'm one of them, so.
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.50
Right, yeah, it was,
it's been really good
00:05:08.54\00:05:10.81
and like you're
saying, that I came to--
00:05:10.84\00:05:13.11
The main goal was
to support my husband,
00:05:13.14\00:05:14.94
and it was a new adventure,
00:05:14.98\00:05:16.51
you know, we
gradually had worked up to this
00:05:16.54\00:05:18.85
and was very
excited and still are.
00:05:18.88\00:05:22.58
I mean there
will be some changes
00:05:22.62\00:05:23.95
when we go home, but
it's, it's an adventure.
00:05:23.99\00:05:27.39
How do you feel
about being vegan?
00:05:27.42\00:05:30.23
I-- You know, I
feel fine about it,
00:05:30.26\00:05:33.73
I think we're gonna
call it true vegetarian.
00:05:33.76\00:05:38.40
Okay.
00:05:38.43\00:05:39.77
But whatever, it doesn't matter.
00:05:39.80\00:05:42.24
So we're committed,
00:05:42.27\00:05:43.61
we're committed to do
the vegan walk for a year,
00:05:43.64\00:05:48.01
and then if we need
to make slight changes,
00:05:48.04\00:05:51.75
but I have a feeling
from listening to other people
00:05:51.78\00:05:54.48
that it's, that you
know, that's where we're headed
00:05:54.52\00:05:59.09
and we'll feel so good
that they'll be worth it.
00:05:59.12\00:06:03.43
You know, I talk
to people all the time
00:06:03.46\00:06:05.49
that come through the
program, that's one of my jobs
00:06:05.53\00:06:09.16
and invariably
you can see people
00:06:09.20\00:06:12.23
who step with the
program and who don't.
00:06:12.27\00:06:13.90
Right.
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.27
I talk to someone yesterday,
actually they sent me an email,
00:06:15.30\00:06:18.37
I don't quite
understand, I'm vegan
00:06:18.41\00:06:20.24
but I've gained 20
pounds, so here is a case
00:06:20.28\00:06:24.31
where someone had
come through the program,
00:06:24.35\00:06:27.02
they remained vegan,
00:06:27.05\00:06:28.38
but they
started eating junk food
00:06:28.42\00:06:30.39
and you can gain
weight by being vegan,
00:06:30.42\00:06:33.66
you know, excess fats and oils
and sugars and so on so forth.
00:06:33.69\00:06:39.96
And what I
decided to do as you have,
00:06:40.00\00:06:43.26
is make this a
lifestyle and not any thing
00:06:43.30\00:06:47.44
I was gonna try
for a week or two,
00:06:47.47\00:06:49.70
or even a year as
you mention but forever,
00:06:49.74\00:06:53.34
because and I think a
biggest difference is,
00:06:53.38\00:06:56.51
is for those of us
who had that fear in here,
00:06:56.54\00:07:01.22
don't want to go
under the knife again
00:07:01.25\00:07:03.05
and do another five way bypass.
00:07:03.08\00:07:04.95
Right, right
00:07:04.99\00:07:06.49
It's a little different
for us, you have some benefits
00:07:06.52\00:07:10.39
that you've never
experienced any of that
00:07:10.43\00:07:13.03
and I pray that
you don't have to.
00:07:13.06\00:07:15.00
Right.
00:07:15.03\00:07:16.36
A more about you and
your doctor experience,
00:07:16.40\00:07:18.13
how were the doctor visits?
00:07:18.17\00:07:21.97
Very good, nothing like
I had experienced before.
00:07:22.00\00:07:26.54
Dr. Gallant, he was phenomenal,
00:07:26.57\00:07:31.01
not only in the office
00:07:31.05\00:07:33.85
and really
personable and cheering
00:07:33.88\00:07:35.78
and but you know, we
would have breakfast,
00:07:35.82\00:07:38.19
and lunch and he
would sit at our table
00:07:38.22\00:07:40.49
and you know, share
and his wife would come in,
00:07:40.52\00:07:44.49
you know it's really unique.
00:07:44.53\00:07:46.39
Isn't that's special?
00:07:46.43\00:07:47.76
It, it really is, so it
was, it was a unique experience
00:07:47.80\00:07:52.17
and I think, I
think we're keeping,
00:07:52.20\00:07:55.90
he's gonna be around I mean,
you don't find that every day.
00:07:55.94\00:07:59.54
That's right, and I
asked your husband this
00:07:59.57\00:08:02.51
'cause I
interviewed him as well.
00:08:02.54\00:08:04.05
Okay. I asked him this question.
00:08:04.08\00:08:06.55
When is the last
time that you had a doctor
00:08:06.58\00:08:09.48
invite you to their home
and prepare a meal for you?
00:08:09.52\00:08:13.86
Does that ever
happen? Not my doctor, no, no.
00:08:13.89\00:08:19.53
So-- But it did happen here.
00:08:19.56\00:08:21.60
It did happen,
it did happen here.
00:08:21.63\00:08:23.60
Yeah, it was a great experience.
00:08:23.63\00:08:25.03
Good, and so, did you,
did you get any massages?
00:08:25.07\00:08:30.51
Did you opt in for massage work?
00:08:30.54\00:08:32.24
I sure did, in
fact, I bought extra.
00:08:32.27\00:08:35.81
And I had no idea
00:08:35.84\00:08:37.18
what the hydrotherapy
was going to be like
00:08:37.21\00:08:40.18
and it was phenomenal.
00:08:40.22\00:08:41.88
+And I think that had a
lot to do with lifting the fog.
00:08:41.92\00:08:47.16
It was really, really good.
00:08:47.19\00:08:50.23
So, and my
therapist was phenomenal.
00:08:50.26\00:08:54.90
And like, I think
everyone has said,
00:08:54.93\00:08:58.37
they're starting out
with prayer with everything.
00:08:58.40\00:09:01.84
Yeah.
00:09:01.87\00:09:03.20
I mean, it was not
only in the massage therapy,
00:09:03.24\00:09:07.38
but whenever we
needed an answer to prayer,
00:09:07.41\00:09:11.75
or that we are getting,
00:09:11.78\00:09:13.11
you know,
discouraged or whatever.
00:09:13.15\00:09:15.02
Whatever it was,
someone showed up
00:09:15.05\00:09:19.25
and said just what we
needed to hear every time.
00:09:19.29\00:09:22.72
It was like, you know,
the Lord totally showed up,
00:09:22.76\00:09:27.40
was there for us.
00:09:27.43\00:09:28.76
It was beautiful.
00:09:28.80\00:09:30.13
You think that might be evidence
00:09:30.17\00:09:31.93
of the Holy
Spirit being on campus?
00:09:31.97\00:09:34.34
No, definitely.
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.17
I can't believe
that myself. Definitely.
00:09:36.20\00:09:39.37
Okay, so you're on your way
00:09:39.41\00:09:41.84
you, by the way
I meant to ask you.
00:09:41.88\00:09:45.68
Had you been
walking before you got here?
00:09:45.71\00:09:47.88
No. You didn't walk?
00:09:47.92\00:09:50.19
And it was
difficult at first. Was it?
00:09:50.22\00:09:52.95
Yes, and we were
cyclists and so it was,
00:09:52.99\00:09:56.83
we're used to exercise,
00:09:56.86\00:09:59.79
but I had a really
tough time with walking.
00:09:59.83\00:10:02.76
And my hips hurt and
my legs, really it was.
00:10:02.80\00:10:06.03
Mine too. Yeah.
00:10:06.07\00:10:07.40
That's why I'm
laughing because I can relate.
00:10:07.44\00:10:09.04
Right, right but
it feels really good,
00:10:09.07\00:10:11.04
and then with the massage
00:10:11.07\00:10:12.77
and helping work out
the lower back in my legs
00:10:12.81\00:10:15.71
and it feels really good.
00:10:15.74\00:10:19.31
In fact, we're-- I mean, it's,
00:10:19.35\00:10:23.32
it will be a part
of our, our program.
00:10:23.35\00:10:26.39
So, how far have you
been walking each day?
00:10:26.42\00:10:30.33
We've gotten up
to six and half miles
00:10:30.36\00:10:32.36
which is astounding.
00:10:32.39\00:10:34.80
Wow. Yeah, yeah.
00:10:34.83\00:10:36.67
But we're usually right around
four, three and half, four
00:10:36.70\00:10:40.07
and that still
is pretty amazing.
00:10:40.10\00:10:43.00
That is amazing. It really is.
00:10:43.04\00:10:45.61
I was, I walked with a young man
00:10:45.64\00:10:48.58
several years ago
00:10:48.61\00:10:50.48
who I walked his
last his 16th mile
00:10:50.51\00:10:55.18
when he was here.
00:10:55.22\00:10:56.55
Seriously. Sixteen miles.
00:10:56.58\00:10:59.15
Wow.
00:10:59.19\00:11:00.52
And, you know,
you figure do the math
00:11:00.56\00:11:03.02
if we walk at a
three miles an hour,
00:11:03.06\00:11:05.53
how long does it
take to do sixteen,
00:11:05.56\00:11:09.06
five and half hours
roughly, that's a long time.
00:11:09.10\00:11:11.93
Yeah. And still he's walking.
00:11:11.97\00:11:13.84
But you know as the doctors
have lectured in the past,
00:11:13.87\00:11:18.27
we believe that
keeping things moving forward
00:11:18.31\00:11:22.14
four miles a day,
00:11:22.18\00:11:23.78
keeping things status
quo three miles a day.
00:11:23.81\00:11:27.22
But you were there and I
know you're gonna continue
00:11:27.25\00:11:29.78
'cause you're cyclist
and now you are a walker.
00:11:29.82\00:11:32.55
That's right.
00:11:32.59\00:11:33.92
I want to take just
a moment to thank you,
00:11:33.96\00:11:36.06
we're just about out of time.
00:11:36.09\00:11:37.76
And God bless you
Linda. Good bless you.
00:11:37.79\00:11:40.00
Look forward to chatting
with you and your husband
00:11:40.03\00:11:42.76
in the coming months.
00:11:42.80\00:11:44.17
Thank you. So
thank you for being here.
00:11:44.20\00:11:46.23
My pleasure.
00:11:46.27\00:11:47.60
And thank you,
friends, but don't go away
00:11:47.64\00:11:49.70
'cause we have Dr.
Gallant after this.
00:11:49.74\00:11:53.38
+Welcome back, friends,
help me welcome Dr. Gallant.
00:12:26.64\00:12:29.94
Hey, Ron, great to be here.
00:12:29.98\00:12:31.31
Good to have you here
and I just like the viewers
00:12:31.35\00:12:34.32
to know of your
new position here
00:12:34.35\00:12:36.58
as NEWSTART Medical Director.
00:12:36.62\00:12:39.69
Yes. Welcome on board.
00:12:39.72\00:12:41.29
Thank you.
00:12:41.32\00:12:42.66
I know you've
been here in the past
00:12:42.69\00:12:44.03
and you've been working
with the proactive group.
00:12:44.06\00:12:45.93
That's correct.
00:12:45.96\00:12:47.30
And, in fact, I think you worked
00:12:47.33\00:12:48.66
with a NEWSTART guest
00:12:48.70\00:12:50.03
a few times filling for Dr. Ing.
00:12:50.07\00:12:53.70
I did that
little bit, not a lot.
00:12:53.74\00:12:55.37
You did. Yeah.
00:12:55.40\00:12:56.74
Well, you're not like a new
kid on the block so to speak.
00:12:56.77\00:12:59.47
No, no.
00:12:59.51\00:13:00.84
And we're so glad you are here.
00:13:00.88\00:13:02.21
Well, it's a
privilege to be here.
00:13:02.24\00:13:03.75
Doctor, I'd like
to talk about Linda.
00:13:03.78\00:13:06.15
Yes.
00:13:06.18\00:13:07.52
Her and her--
she and her husband
00:13:07.55\00:13:11.55
came to the program
00:13:11.59\00:13:13.32
and she was to be a guest
or a companion if you will.
00:13:13.36\00:13:19.43
That's right.
00:13:19.46\00:13:20.80
Meaning that she was
here to support her husband.
00:13:20.83\00:13:22.56
That's right.
00:13:22.60\00:13:23.93
And then she decided to
do a blood draw which you--
00:13:23.97\00:13:27.30
I guess if you're
coming as companion
00:13:27.34\00:13:30.01
not someone who
needs medical attention.
00:13:30.04\00:13:33.17
You can decide
to get blood draws,
00:13:33.21\00:13:36.14
doctor visits, massages--
00:13:36.18\00:13:39.21
Treatments of any
kind. Yeah, absolutely.
00:13:39.25\00:13:41.88
You know, it's really nice
the way the program is set up
00:13:41.92\00:13:44.25
that there is
the opportunity to do
00:13:44.29\00:13:47.02
what we call a la carte,
00:13:47.06\00:13:48.62
where somebody can come
and meet with a physician
00:13:48.66\00:13:53.13
and get some specific counseling
00:13:53.16\00:13:55.43
towards their lifestyle issues
00:13:55.46\00:13:57.33
and then add some treatments
like a exercise treatment,
00:13:57.37\00:14:01.24
like a nutritional
counseling session,
00:14:01.27\00:14:04.87
like meeting with a chaplain
00:14:04.91\00:14:06.88
and getting
hydrotherapy and massage.
00:14:06.91\00:14:09.74
What a great opportunity
to be here to be supportive
00:14:09.78\00:14:13.11
and also get a
little support for yourself.
00:14:13.15\00:14:16.18
She was so happy.
00:14:16.22\00:14:17.72
She love some dress
sizes around her hips and waist
00:14:17.75\00:14:22.06
and she's feeling really good.
00:14:22.09\00:14:24.43
And I understand,
see, the walls have ears
00:14:24.46\00:14:28.53
that may be there's
a little competition
00:14:28.56\00:14:30.73
going on between the two.
00:14:30.77\00:14:32.10
Well, you know, it's a-- I
really had a wonderful time
00:14:32.13\00:14:34.24
with Joe and Linda.
00:14:34.27\00:14:36.30
And I noticed especially
that Linda is very competitive.
00:14:36.34\00:14:40.31
So they would both
come to meet with me
00:14:40.34\00:14:42.58
for either one of them
whichever had the appointment.
00:14:42.61\00:14:45.58
And what I did was,
00:14:45.61\00:14:47.12
I started creating
a little competition
00:14:47.15\00:14:50.19
between the two of them.
00:14:50.22\00:14:51.89
And that was such a motivator
to get them to go and walk
00:14:51.92\00:14:54.62
and exercise and drink water
00:14:54.66\00:14:56.42
and do whatever was
required of the program
00:14:56.46\00:14:59.43
and they really reaped
rich benefits because of that.
00:14:59.46\00:15:03.03
I could see that
00:15:03.06\00:15:04.40
between the first
interview and the second
00:15:04.43\00:15:07.34
and she's just
totally on board with this.
00:15:07.37\00:15:10.17
And I may at a point when
I came through the program
00:15:10.21\00:15:13.71
my wife came with me.
00:15:13.74\00:15:15.08
Yes.
00:15:15.11\00:15:16.44
I can't even imagine me
going home after 18 days
00:15:16.48\00:15:20.72
and trying to share
with her what I did here.
00:15:20.75\00:15:23.89
Right, right. It's impossible.
00:15:23.92\00:15:26.09
It makes such a big difference,
00:15:26.12\00:15:27.66
you know, about eight years
ago my wife and I and our family
00:15:27.69\00:15:30.33
made a lifestyle change
00:15:30.36\00:15:32.09
and we did as a family
and it just is so much.
00:15:32.13\00:15:35.93
It creates an opportunity
for so much more success
00:15:35.96\00:15:39.33
when everybody is on board,
00:15:39.37\00:15:40.70
everybody knows why
we're doing what we're doing,
00:15:40.74\00:15:43.27
it really is a rich blessing.
00:15:43.30\00:15:45.74
You won't, I don't know
if you've seen the pictures
00:15:45.77\00:15:47.71
but I saw pictures
that they went home
00:15:47.74\00:15:50.41
and purged their pantry
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.91
and have posted things on
the NEWSTART Facebook page
00:15:52.95\00:15:56.95
of how they're
setting their pantry up
00:15:56.99\00:15:58.65
to be successful.
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.16
Those are the kind of
things that make a difference.
00:16:00.19\00:16:02.39
When you get home,
00:16:02.42\00:16:03.76
if you get rid of the
things that are not necessary
00:16:03.79\00:16:06.83
and are unhealthful and
start creating an environment
00:16:06.86\00:16:10.43
where you can, you can
live a healthy lifestyle.
00:16:10.47\00:16:13.64
That is a key to success.
00:16:13.67\00:16:15.70
Doctor, how can
we help our viewers?
00:16:15.74\00:16:19.24
What can we say to
our viewers here today?
00:16:19.27\00:16:23.28
And that can help them
00:16:23.31\00:16:25.95
with their life, their diabetes,
00:16:25.98\00:16:29.08
their cardiovascular disease,
or maybe they have cancers
00:16:29.12\00:16:32.92
or whatever.
00:16:32.95\00:16:34.36
What can they do at home?
00:16:34.39\00:16:35.82
Well, you know, I
like to put it this way,
00:16:35.86\00:16:37.56
I really believe
that God has a health plan
00:16:37.59\00:16:40.23
that He wants people to follow.
00:16:40.26\00:16:42.33
And I believe that
God is all inclusive,
00:16:42.36\00:16:44.90
so His health plan is
available to everybody.
00:16:44.93\00:16:47.74
And I believe that God works
through very simple techniques,
00:16:47.77\00:16:51.81
you know, things
like getting outside
00:16:51.84\00:16:54.61
and walking in the fresh air.
00:16:54.64\00:16:56.68
Getting a little
sunshine while you are outside.
00:16:56.71\00:16:59.71
Drinking more water.
00:16:59.75\00:17:01.08
You know, every cell
in our body needs water.
00:17:01.12\00:17:03.79
The more water we drink,
00:17:03.82\00:17:05.45
the more our
bodies will be healthy.
00:17:05.49\00:17:07.82
And then getting good
rest at night is so important,
00:17:07.86\00:17:11.53
because that's when
God created our bodies
00:17:11.56\00:17:14.30
to heal and repair themselves
00:17:14.33\00:17:16.33
if we put them in
the right condition.
00:17:16.36\00:17:18.80
So just some simple things.
00:17:18.83\00:17:21.14
Get a walk
outside in the sunshine,
00:17:21.17\00:17:23.07
drink more water
00:17:23.10\00:17:24.44
and get seven to eight
hours of sleep in night.
00:17:24.47\00:17:27.28
Those simple things you'll find
00:17:27.31\00:17:29.28
will make a
difference in your life,
00:17:29.31\00:17:31.68
if you're not healthy right now.
00:17:31.71\00:17:34.02
Oh, there is a tip
00:17:34.05\00:17:35.98
and I challenge
each and every one of you
00:17:36.02\00:17:38.32
to start those new
lifestyle right there at home.
00:17:38.35\00:17:41.32
Or if you need
help, you can come here.
00:17:41.36\00:17:43.39
By the way our
number is 800-525-9192.
00:17:43.43\00:17:48.96
And one of our
guest services personnel
00:17:49.00\00:17:51.40
will be glad to help you.
00:17:51.43\00:17:53.34
Doctor, I know I've
asked you this question
00:17:53.37\00:17:57.57
in other interviews
00:17:57.61\00:17:58.94
but do the doctors here
at the NEWSTART program,
00:17:58.97\00:18:03.61
do they
participate the guest life
00:18:03.65\00:18:06.61
after they're gone.
00:18:06.65\00:18:07.98
Absolutely, we do.
00:18:08.02\00:18:09.35
We care about the friendships
00:18:09.38\00:18:11.32
that we've created with
guests when they are here
00:18:11.35\00:18:13.76
and we want to be
supportive to them.
00:18:13.79\00:18:15.72
So they're
welcomed to contact us
00:18:15.76\00:18:18.13
and if they don't contact us,
00:18:18.16\00:18:20.03
we contact them
and get an update,
00:18:20.06\00:18:22.40
see how they're doing.
00:18:22.43\00:18:23.93
Make sure that
things are going well.
00:18:23.97\00:18:25.77
We want to create an
environment for success
00:18:25.80\00:18:28.30
for our guests
when they go back home.
00:18:28.34\00:18:30.31
And that's so critical. It is.
00:18:30.34\00:18:32.41
I know in the past the numbers
haven't been really great.
00:18:32.44\00:18:36.04
People get to home
and all of a sudden
00:18:36.08\00:18:37.85
they just don't know what to do.
00:18:37.88\00:18:39.61
And now we let
them know, hey, look,
00:18:39.65\00:18:42.62
if you need to talk to a doctor,
00:18:42.65\00:18:44.29
you call here right away.
00:18:44.32\00:18:45.65
That's right.
00:18:45.69\00:18:47.02
I know in the past our
doctors have called people
00:18:47.06\00:18:49.32
10, 11 o'clock at night.
00:18:49.36\00:18:51.56
So that's just--
00:18:51.59\00:18:53.63
We also need to live
00:18:53.66\00:18:55.76
by the principles
that we are teaching,
00:18:55.80\00:18:57.47
so we're trying not to do that.
00:18:57.50\00:18:59.50
But now we-- if
you call us be patient
00:18:59.53\00:19:03.47
because it may
take us a little time
00:19:03.51\00:19:05.21
to get back to you, but
we will get back to you,
00:19:05.24\00:19:07.14
we care about what's
happening in your life
00:19:07.18\00:19:09.38
and we want to do what
we can to make you healthy.
00:19:09.41\00:19:12.61
I think that was my point.
00:19:12.65\00:19:15.18
Doc, we run out of time.
00:19:15.22\00:19:17.09
Thank you so
much for being here.
00:19:17.12\00:19:18.45
Thank you, Ron.
00:19:18.49\00:19:19.82
And welcome on board
with the NEWSTART program.
00:19:19.85\00:19:21.96
And thank you, friends,
don't go away we have a recipe
00:19:21.99\00:19:25.09
from the NEWSTART kitchen.
00:19:25.13\00:19:26.76
Hi, I'm Michelle Irwin.
00:19:29.26\00:19:31.00
And I'm the
NEWSTART cooking instructor.
00:19:31.03\00:19:33.03
I'm gonna show you how
to make a plant-based vegan
00:19:33.07\00:19:35.50
artichoke and spinach dip
00:19:35.54\00:19:37.21
that's low fat and share
it to full all your friends.
00:19:37.24\00:19:40.88
Let's talk about the ingredients
00:19:40.91\00:19:42.24
that's gonna go into this dish.
00:19:42.28\00:19:44.21
I have diced up an onion
that I'm gonna caramelize
00:19:44.25\00:19:47.18
using just water and I'm
gonna show you that technique.
00:19:47.22\00:19:49.68
I'll be adding some
garlic, nutritional yeast,
00:19:49.72\00:19:52.59
I'll be adding some
oregano, some fresh sea salt,
00:19:52.62\00:19:56.66
some fresh lemon juice.
00:19:56.69\00:19:58.93
And we want
artichokes that are in a can
00:19:58.96\00:20:02.00
or in a jar that
is packed in water.
00:20:02.03\00:20:04.27
Make sure you
don't get them marinated.
00:20:04.30\00:20:06.23
Some firm tofu, some spinach
00:20:06.27\00:20:08.80
and of course whatever
you'd like to serve it in
00:20:08.84\00:20:10.77
and we're gonna be
serving it in a bread bowl.
00:20:10.81\00:20:13.01
So let's get started.
00:20:13.04\00:20:14.41
I'm gonna turn my pan,
00:20:14.44\00:20:17.41
I'm gonna use my pan
here at about a medium heat.
00:20:17.45\00:20:20.92
I want that nice and hot.
00:20:20.95\00:20:22.68
So I'm gonna go ahead
and put my onions inside.
00:20:22.72\00:20:24.79
And once you get
your onion in there,
00:20:28.82\00:20:30.69
you don't want to agitate it.
00:20:30.73\00:20:32.43
What we're doing is
we're pulling that sugar
00:20:32.46\00:20:34.73
out of the onion
00:20:34.76\00:20:36.10
and that's gonna give us
that gorgeous caramel color.
00:20:36.13\00:20:39.27
So we're gonna
just kind of let that be
00:20:39.30\00:20:41.34
and in the mean time,
00:20:41.37\00:20:42.97
I'm gonna be
working on my sauce.
00:20:43.00\00:20:44.87
So using your Vitamix blender,
00:20:44.91\00:20:47.81
we're gonna be
adding our tofu...
00:20:47.84\00:20:49.81
with our lemon juice.
00:20:53.72\00:20:55.15
Nutritional yeast
which is high in B vitamins,
00:20:58.69\00:21:01.36
excellent, it's gonna
give us that cheesiness
00:21:01.39\00:21:03.19
that we're looking for.
00:21:03.22\00:21:04.56
Because
traditionally you'll have cheese
00:21:04.59\00:21:07.70
in your spinach dip.
00:21:07.73\00:21:09.43
Oregano.
00:21:09.46\00:21:12.40
Our sea salt.
00:21:12.43\00:21:15.54
And I'm gonna go
ahead and just blend this
00:21:15.57\00:21:17.41
all together.
00:21:17.44\00:21:19.17
Okay, this is
what we're looking for,
00:22:03.28\00:22:04.82
this is gonna be
our cheesy creamy sauce
00:22:04.85\00:22:07.46
that goes into our bread bowl
00:22:07.49\00:22:09.49
when we're done
into artichoke dip.
00:22:09.52\00:22:11.23
So, what I'm seeing here
00:22:11.26\00:22:12.59
is I'm seeing that brown color
00:22:12.63\00:22:13.96
and I'm gonna go ahead and
just add a little bit of water
00:22:14.00\00:22:16.53
to pull that caramel out.
00:22:16.56\00:22:18.27
And now I can stir it
00:22:24.67\00:22:26.01
and just do the same
process for two to three times
00:22:26.04\00:22:28.68
until your
onions are translucent.
00:22:28.71\00:22:30.88
Okay, so once these
onions are translucent,
00:22:40.49\00:22:43.36
I'm gonna go ahead now
and just add my garlic.
00:22:43.39\00:22:46.70
And I want some minced garlic,
00:22:46.73\00:22:48.06
I'm layering this
flavor to really pull
00:22:48.10\00:22:50.57
all the wonderful flavors
out in our garlic and onion
00:22:50.60\00:22:53.74
which is really a
universal ingredient
00:22:53.77\00:22:55.64
that we use in a lot of recipes.
00:22:55.67\00:22:57.87
This recipe is
NEWSTART compliance,
00:22:57.91\00:23:00.24
so you really gonna enjoy this.
00:23:00.28\00:23:01.81
Okay, so once this is
finished, I'm gonna go ahead now
00:23:01.84\00:23:05.21
and move my
blender out of the way
00:23:05.25\00:23:07.95
and we'll be working
with our food processor.
00:23:07.98\00:23:12.35
You want to use
the food processor
00:23:12.39\00:23:13.76
with the S
blade for this recipe.
00:23:13.79\00:23:15.92
So, let's go ahead
and get the set up.
00:23:15.96\00:23:18.49
And my onions are
getting close to becoming clear,
00:23:18.53\00:23:22.26
I'm just gonna
turn up a little bit.
00:23:22.30\00:23:24.87
And what I'm gonna do now
is I'm gonna put my spinach in
00:23:24.90\00:23:27.57
and I want this
until it's wilted.
00:23:27.60\00:23:29.80
So this is about 15
ounces of spinach here
00:23:29.84\00:23:32.11
and depending on your recipe,
00:23:32.14\00:23:33.48
you can double this or whatever.
00:23:33.51\00:23:35.31
This will make about a
one quart dish for you.
00:23:35.34\00:23:38.81
So we're just
gonna let this wilt down
00:23:38.85\00:23:41.85
and in the mean time,
00:23:41.88\00:23:43.22
I'm gonna go ahead
and put my artichokes
00:23:43.25\00:23:45.32
into my food processor.
00:23:45.35\00:23:46.82
Okay,
00:23:50.09\00:23:51.73
see how this is doing here.
00:23:51.76\00:23:53.26
And then we'll
add our sauce to it.
00:23:57.17\00:23:59.00
This recipe is
so simple and easy.
00:24:01.74\00:24:04.24
It's just a few ingredients
00:24:04.27\00:24:06.07
and it really is a nice
dish to have for a dinner,
00:24:06.11\00:24:11.11
something that's light
and low fat for dinners
00:24:11.15\00:24:13.55
what we're
looking for at NEWSTART,
00:24:13.58\00:24:15.12
so this is a great dish.
00:24:15.15\00:24:16.99
And it's also fun
to bring to parties.
00:24:17.02\00:24:19.02
And just go ahead and get
every little bit out of there.
00:24:29.93\00:24:33.37
The Vitamix is
the great blender,
00:24:33.40\00:24:35.04
I definitely would recommend
00:24:35.07\00:24:36.40
that you use a
high speed blender
00:24:36.44\00:24:38.54
when making this recipe.
00:24:38.57\00:24:40.64
If not, you're not
gonna get the consistency
00:24:40.68\00:24:43.14
that you want.
00:24:43.18\00:24:44.51
If you use this
like a softer tofu,
00:24:44.55\00:24:47.18
you could throw this
into your food processor
00:24:47.22\00:24:49.35
and make it one
appliance meal if you will.
00:24:49.38\00:24:54.66
But since I used the firm tofu,
00:24:54.69\00:24:57.89
I really need a high
speed blender to make this
00:24:57.93\00:25:01.06
give us that
beautiful cheesiness
00:25:01.10\00:25:03.16
that starting to
turn into right there.
00:25:03.20\00:25:06.84
Okay, let's check
on our spinach here,
00:25:06.87\00:25:08.84
it's looking beautiful.
00:25:08.87\00:25:10.34
It's just the right consistency.
00:25:10.37\00:25:14.34
Okay, so take that off the heat.
00:25:14.38\00:25:17.58
And now we'll just transfer this
00:25:17.68\00:25:19.01
into our food processor.
00:25:19.05\00:25:20.62
And it's okay, you don't,
00:25:24.25\00:25:25.72
you don't really want
to process this too much.
00:25:25.75\00:25:28.09
We want all those chunks
00:25:28.12\00:25:30.03
because we're also
gonna be baking this
00:25:30.06\00:25:32.26
at 350 for about, you know,
00:25:32.29\00:25:34.86
30 minutes until
everything is nice and golden.
00:25:34.90\00:25:38.13
Let's go ahead and process this.
00:25:38.17\00:25:40.77
And I'm just gonna
pulse this for about 15 times
00:25:40.80\00:25:43.07
until I just get
a nice consistency.
00:25:43.10\00:25:44.87
I want it chunky.
00:25:44.91\00:25:46.84
Okay. And there you have it.
00:25:55.78\00:25:58.15
You can see how
gorgeous this is.
00:25:58.19\00:25:59.99
It's really yummy
even if you don't bake it,
00:26:00.02\00:26:02.86
but you can just
find your oven safe dish
00:26:02.89\00:26:06.09
to put this in and we're
gonna put this into the oven.
00:26:06.13\00:26:08.86
Like I said for 350, at
350 for about 30 minutes
00:26:08.90\00:26:12.97
until everything
is nice and golden
00:26:13.00\00:26:14.74
on the top.
00:26:14.77\00:26:17.24
All right.
00:26:17.27\00:26:20.68
And so we'll put
that into the oven
00:26:20.71\00:26:22.94
and I want to show
you the finished product
00:26:22.98\00:26:24.81
and how we should plate this.
00:26:24.85\00:26:27.12
So what I have here is
just a beautiful bread bowl
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.82
and you can get these
recipes at our newstartclub.com
00:26:29.85\00:26:32.95
and how to make bread.
00:26:32.99\00:26:34.89
And I have my
beautiful spinach dip
00:26:34.92\00:26:37.33
and you can see that it's
nice and golden on the top
00:26:37.36\00:26:40.16
and it's so good,
00:26:40.20\00:26:41.73
you can eat it really
hot fresh out of the oven.
00:26:41.76\00:26:43.73
But I like to let
it cool a little bit
00:26:43.77\00:26:45.30
so that it has its
nice spinach artichoke.
00:26:45.33\00:26:47.57
So let's go
ahead and plate this.
00:26:47.60\00:26:50.47
Now I'll just
take it out of my...
00:26:50.51\00:26:53.94
my pan like so,
00:26:53.98\00:26:55.58
put in there
00:26:58.21\00:27:00.05
and you can serve
this with crackers
00:27:00.08\00:27:02.02
or your favorite chips
and it's really quite nice.
00:27:02.05\00:27:07.16
And here we have our
beautiful spinach artichoke dip.
00:27:07.19\00:27:11.93
